Krogerus advised Glesys, a leading Nordic provider of cloud and IaaS services, on its acquisition of Verne’s managed private cloud operations in Finland, including data center facilities in Pori and Tampere. Verne is the leading provider of low-carbon high-performance data centers across the Nordics.

The transaction reflects both companies’ strategic priorities: for Glesys, it represents an important step in expanding its cloud and IaaS services, strengthening its position as a market leader in the Nordics and enhancing its capacity to deliver secure, energy-efficient and scalable solutions in the region. For Verne, it supports a sharpened focus on delivering low-carbon, high-performance colocation for AI and enterprise workloads. The transaction is subject to authorities’ approval.

They were primarily assisted by Counsel Andreas Brink, Senior Associate Santeri Jääskeläinen and Associates Inessa Kiili, Tuuli Merikallio, Henna Olkkonen and Marko Katainen.
